The 2024 edition of the <strong>IPL auction</strong> will be held on Tuesday, December 19, in Dubai. More than 1100 players have submitted their names for the business event. Before the auction, some players are the favourites to cause a bidding battle among the franchises while a few underrated names can also bag lucrative contracts in the upcoming auction.&nbsp;

In recent times, some players have looked exceptional in their roles but didn’t grab the media attention. These players may reap the benefits of their impressive performances in the upcoming auction. Ahead of the business event, let’s discuss five underrated players who might get big money.

Here are five underrated players who can earn big money in the auction:

Afghanistan stalwart Mujeeb Ur Rahman hasn’t featured in the cash-rich league since 2022 but this time, his name might attract bidders. The off-break bowler exuded confidence with the ball in the 2023 World Cup. Appearing in nine games of the marquee One-Day International (ODI) event, he took eight wickets at an economy of 5.59.

Back in 2018, he made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings (PBKS) at an early age of 17. Playing his maiden season, he scalped 14 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 6.99. Following that edition, his performance slumped and before the 2021 auction, Punjab parted ways with him.

This time, Mumbai Indians (MI) and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ipl-2024-royal-challengers-bangalore-retained-players-released-players-and-purse-remaining-ahead-of-auction/" title=" Royal Challengers Bangalore " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore </strong></a>(RCB) might invest in the 22-year-old as neither has quality spinners. Rahman plays a lot of league cricket and he has the potential to do wonders with the ball on turning tracks of India.

Delhi Capitals (DC) ended their association with Rovman Powell before the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>IPL 2024 auction</strong></a> and he will go under the hammer after two years again. Powell scored seven runs in three games he got from Capitals in 2023. The Windies player will participate in the upcoming auction with a base price tag of INR 1 crore.&nbsp;

The 30-year-old is known for his hard-hitting abilities which make him dangerous in the last overs of innings. In the auction, some franchises might see a finisher in Powell and one of them might end up signing him at an enormous amount. This year, he has scored 192 runs in eight T20 Internationals (T20Is) at an average of 38.40 and a strike rate of 168.42.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) have broken ties with Devdutt Padikkal and Jason Holder recently and following this move, they might utilize the amount to buy Powell, who can be useful for them in the lower-middle order.

Phil Salt hasn’t made it to Delhi Capital’s (DC) retain list for the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;<strong>IPL 2024</strong></a>. The England batter played nine games for Delhi in 2023 and amassed only 218 runs at an ordinary average of 27.25. His non-performance led to his exclusion from DC’s squad but he might be seen bagging a heavy amount in the upcoming auction.&nbsp;

In the 2023 Hundred Men’s competition, Salt looked in amazing touch with his bat. He notched up 232 runs in 10 games at a stupendous strike rate of 194.95 and ended up as the fourth-highest run-getter in the tournament. The 27-year-old’s batting record is stunning for England in T20Is and that might tempt some franchises to invest money in him for the 2024 season.

Wearing England’s colourful jersey, he has struck 308 runs in 16 T20Is at a brilliant strike rate of 148.79. Salt, who enjoys batting in the upper order and middle order, might receive a big amount from Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the auction. Hyderabad got rid of Harry Brook a few days back and they will require an experienced batter for the next IPL edition.

<img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1696694728252_Gerald-Coetzee.jpeg" alt="Gerald-Coetzee" loading="lazy"><figcaption>Gerald-Coetzee. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Gerald Coetzee became a renowned name among cricket fans after performing exceptionally for South Africa in the 2023 World Cup. He clinched 20 wickets in eight games of the ODI tournament and ended up as the Protea side’s leading wicket-taker.&nbsp;

The pacer’s sensational bowling numbers might help him pull off an amazing deal in the 2024 IPL auction. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ipl-2024-kolkata-knight-riders-retained-players-released-players-and-purse-remaining-ahead-of-auction/" title=" Kolkata Knight Riders " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders </strong></a>(KKR) have released fast bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Tim Southee before the auction and they will have to get some pacers in their squad for the 2024 IPL edition.

Coetzee, who displayed his bowling mettle in the 2023 World Cup, might become a perfect player to reinforce KKR’s pace attack. Earlier in the year, the 23-year-old Protea performed fabulously in the inaugural edition of the SA20 League. Representing Joburg Super Kings, he took 17 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 8.07 and concluded the tournament as the third-highest wicket-taker.&nbsp;

Australia’s wicketkeeper batter Josh Inglis might bag a huge deal in the upcoming auction. In the recently concluded five-match T20I series against India, Inglis looked incredible with his bat. In the first T20I played in Visakhapatnam, he smashed a 47-ball hundred and equated Aaron Finch’s record of scoring the fastest T20I ton for the Aussie side.

The 28-year-old has played a lot of cricket for Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League (BBL). Playing in Australia’s T20 league, he has piled up 1509 runs with 13 fifties in 65 matches at a marvellous strike rate of 142.76. In 2023, Perth lifted the coveted trophy for the fifth time and Inglis played a vital role in this success.

The stumper hit 431 runs in 16 games at a strike rate of 146.59 and ended up as the third-highest run-getter in the tournament. In the 2024 IPL auction, RCB might splurge big money on the Aussie after witnessing their wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik struggling with form in 2023.
